how can u have had 2 children, feel a 'terrible amoint of pressure between your legs'

And not realise?

I have seen this a few times but refuse to watch now as I just don't believe any of it.

Notice how they never show any photos of the women when they're supposedly pregnant?

Never happened to me, but I can absolutely imagine how it could happen, especially in this woman's situation. If you think there is no way you can get pregnant and you were expecting your periods to stop anyway, you'd probably assume a little weight gain (some don't put much on - how, how???) was down to overeating or middle age spread. And if you don't know you're pregnant, labour pains could possibly be put down to really bad stomach cramps.

And Stranded, what's with the profanity that's just appeared in the middle of your name ?

But that was your first stranded I can understand.

When you already have children , it seems impossible to comprehend.

daytime tv - you need to get out more or invest in some decent box sets. i was half way through my last pregnancy before i knew i was pregnant. Not stupid just infertile naturally (or so i thought!!)

Ah, I see. I suppose I could change mine to Ms Cuntible, but my Mum might find out and tell me off. Raises fist in solidarity, though.

Stealth - can I suggest ironing a bit quicker so that you don't have to endure such programmes?

Stranded, WOW, just wow. Your photos are amazing. I have read bits of your story in various threads, but never followed the links to your photos before. It must have been such a tough couple of years for you, I applaud your strength in getting through it - and continuing with your degree too, just AMAZING!

Mummy, I can imagine nit knowing you're pregnant. Definitely. Shed had her tubes cauterised - that's the word I was trying to remember - and assumed menopause. It's crowning that I can get my head round (pun incidental)

CanT! There was a t when I typed it

Both my labours were completely different. I'm in my 40's, have had my tubes clipped, and if I were in her position labour wouldn't occur to me either.

As I've pretty much forgotten what sex is, I don't think I have to worry about the recent weight gain. That can be safely put down to biscuit weight.

my penance for starting this thread is a surprise baby in 15 years time isn't it?
Actually that sounds perfect, I will have a 20yo and a 17yo. "Your dad and I are off out, the baby needs feeding and putting to bed, thanks!"

And actually if I bring it back 5 years or so I should be able to effectively guard against either being teen parents - I'll just show them both the placenta and let them share a room with the baby. Drastic, I know, bt needs must. Not sure what I'd do for DC3 though - can't continue indefinitely :o

I didn't push either btw, it was just 'immense pressure'. Then they fell out.
